Nigeria is blessed with so many talented celebrities. There is not a single sector of the entertainment industry that you would not find a Nigerian making exploits. These celebrities are a source of inspiration to several people, including me.
So to celebrate our celebrities, I’d be writing one celebrity focus every week. This week’s celebrity is Falz the Bahd Guy.

He has excelled quite well in the music industry, made a name for himself as a television and social media personality, and he is also an award winning actor. And he is just 28 years old! Anyways, I’m sure you know that he is a qualified lawyer and his father is the popular Nigerian Human Rights Activist, Femi Falana. So let me tell you 8 other things you may not know about Falz.
